because historically european features have been idolized as beautiful while african features were regarded as ugly when black people adopt white hair colors or styles its for survival for a long time black peoples natural hair texture was seen as unkempt and dirty therefore black women had to use damaging chemicals called relaxers to straighten their hair and be employable basically when white people wear dreads its like haha for centuries we called you nasty nigger monkeys for wearing your hair like this but when we do it its trendy urban or edgy btw your hair is still nappy and we might not employ you for wearing your hair like this even in the modern day
